The Sourcing Industry Group (SIG) invites PRO Unlimited, Inc., the leading purely vendor-neutral contingent workforce management software and Managed Services Provider (MSP), to host an information session titled, “Leverage Your Contract Talent Network to Generate Cost-savings.” Many companies have successfully tapped into their employees’ networks to directly source professional contingent (temporary/freelance) talent. This approach has a significant impact on cost and engages workers who are pre-vetted or known. Register here for the webinar taking place on December 13th at 11:00 AM EST / 8:00 AM PST.

As organizations continue to expand the use of contingent talent to supplement their full-time workforce, they are also seeking ways to optimize their contingent workforce programs to generate additional cost-savings. Historically, this is done through the process of supplier rate rationalization, improvements in workflow and cycle time, and engaging a MSP and Vendor Management System (VMS) to drive efficiencies. While these measures generate cost-savings (particularly in first generation and early stage programs), more mature programs require the identification of other strategies like self-sourcing.

“When it’s built and managed correctly, a private talent network can be one of the primary drivers for generating savings in a company’s contingent workforce program,” said Brad Martin, Senior Director of Product Marketing, PRO Unlimited. “Understanding what is required to populate and roll out the network can be the difference in fully utilizing this forward-thinking, cost-saving strategy or failing to realize the benefits of self-sourcing.”

During the session, PRO Unlimited will highlight how to build a private contract talent network, leverage technology to curate and manage it, and ways to incorporate it into an organization’s sourcing workflow. Attendees will learn how to:
